if you wanna call Pluto a a planet, do it. The IAU is not going to arrest you or something.
Don't believe this person, I said it was a planet and spent 5years locked away in the planetarium
(No, this is not a personal opinion).
That sounds awesome. Did you get to look at all the exhibits?
No I had to stay in the toilet
And the sun is flat. Fight me.
You think the sun is flat?
Bro... The UNIVERSE is flat.
It's true
Listen, like birds and Australia, the universe doesn't exist.
It is known.
